Though Teresa failed to give any indication as to what’s next for the Giudice family, her daughters have been vocal about Joe, 48, on social media.

“Let’s fight this,” Gia, 17, wrote on Instagram earlier this month, captioning a since-deleted video created by a man named Fred Rubino that called for an appeal of Joe’s impending deportation to his native Italy.

She then shared a throwback photo to her Instagram Story of herself as a little girl holding onto Joe’s shoulders. “This is one of my favorite pictures of me and my dad,” Gia wrote. “My father is no threat to society he is one of the most warm hearted people I know. He would never harm a soul. He puts everyone else before himself.”

“I know who my father is and I think many of you do too,” Gia added. “My father did his time and learned from his mistakes. Isn’t being in there supposed to make you realize your mistakes so you can become a better person? And that’s exactly what my father did. He hasn’t felt or looked this good since he was in his 30’s. We have so many plans to do as a family when he gets out. I need my father to be here. My father belongs with us and his entire family. My father came into this country when he was one years old, the United States is the only country he knows, spread the word #bringjoehome.”

Milania, 12, also suggested the Giudice family would be fighting their patriarch’s deportation. She shared two father-daughter portraits of the pair smiling together on Instagram and penned an emotional note praising her father, whom she described as “the best dad in the world.”

“My dad, who is the best dad in the world, needs to come home,” she wrote. “We aren’t done fighting dad. I can’t believe this is happening. I can’t imagine another day without you.”

“We are gonna do everything we can to fight this daddy!! I love you with all my heart buddy,” Milania continued, adding multiple heart emojis as well as “#heartbroken.”

Meanwhile, Teresa’s appearance at Mohegan Sun on Sunday comes on the heels of a tough day for the reality star.

On Saturday, she paid tribute to her late mother Antonia on Instagram in a touching tribute. “Happy Birthday to my beautiful mother in heaven,” Teresa wrote. “Not a day goes by that I don’t think of you, miss you & wish you were here. Thank you for watching over us, daddy, the girls & I miss you so much! #oct20”

The 26-year-old rapper shared an absolutely adorable Instagram Story video starring her 3-month-old daughter Kulture Kiari on Saturday, and Cardi had nothing but loving words to say about her daughter’s “juicy legs.”

“For real, where you got these juicy legs from, huh?” Cardi sweetly asked her daughter as the baby girl moved her legs around while appearing to rest on her mother’s chest.

“Where those juicy legs come from? They’re so juicy,” she added before leaning over to give her daughter’s toes a quick kiss.

“Chunka,” she wrote alongside the video, which also showed off her daughter’s adorable pink and white onesie and white ruffled socks.

“Why nobody tells you about those things? Nobody told me they were gonna stitch my vagina,” Cardi lamented. “People just be like, ‘Oh, you know, when you give birth, it’s gonna hurt.’ But nobody tells you .”

During the interview, Cardi also revealed that she’s still “not mentally ready” to step out in public with her daughter.

“There’s certain things that I want to do with my daughter. Like, I want to go to the beach with my baby, I want to take a stroll down the street with my baby,” she continued. “And I can’t because I don’t know who’s next to me and who has certain intentions. I don’t wanna show my baby out to the public right now. I just want to protect her.”

MILAN — Michael Kors’ chairman and chief executive officer John Idol’s Italian week reached a peak when last Saturday, his daughter Alexandra tied the knot at the luxury Villa d’Este hotel in Cernobbio, on Lake Como.
After signing the deal that saw Michael Kors Holdings adding Versace to its stable of brands for $ 2.1 billion and renaming itself Capri Holdings, the executive was seen celebrating his daughter’s marriage, joined by fellow fashion personalities.
Designers Michael Kors and Tommy Hilfiger, as well as Macy’s former chairman and ceo Terry Lundgren, Joel Horowitz and tycoon Silas Chou were among the guests in attendance.
Hilfiger posted an image portraying the group of guests on his personal Instagram account, captioning it: “The fashion rat pack.”

Venisha Brown, daughter of soul singers James Brown and Yvonne Fair, died Wednesday. She was 53.

Brown died after suffering complications with pneumonia at August University Health Medical Center in Georgia. Like her father, she was also a songwriter and musician and played a role in the foundation named after him.

The James Brown Foundation confirmed her death in a release, stating that Brown “will always be remembered as one of the few who fully embodied the dance moves of her father.”

Yamma Brown, also daughter of the “Godfather of Soul,” paid tribute to her half-sister on Instagram with a photo of the two.

A source close to Dorit Kemsley, 42, says the mother of two is “absolutely devastated” by a Radar report that she adopted a dog from Lisa Vanderpump’s rescue organization, Vanderpump Dog Foundation, and then returned it to a shelter, infuriating Vanderpump when she found out and causing a rift.

“That story is completely false,” says the insider, who goes on to explain.

“Dorit did adopt a dog from Vanderpump Dog Foundation. She loves animals and has always been a huge supporter of Lisa’s rescue efforts. Everything was great for awhile, the kids (son Jagger, 4, and daughter Phoenix, 2) loved the dog and everything was fine.”

But in the summer, before cameras were rolling on RHOBH, the dog bit Phoenix.

“It was a bad bite,” says the source. “It was pretty traumatic. Dorit and PK talked it out and decided that the best thing to do was find a new loving home for the dog. They were heartbroken, but made the decision for the safety of their young kids.”

The source says the Kemsleys found a home, but before placing the dog with its new family, Dorit called Vanderpump and told her what had happened before asking for her blessing. The source says Vanderpump understood.

Unfortunately, says the source, unbeknownst to Kemsley, the new family didn’t work out and the dog was brought to a shelter where a microchip traced it back to the Vanderpump Dog Foundation.

While enjoying themselves in San Juan, Puerto Rico, on Friday, Harley, 31, shared a photograph of the pair posing together in their beach attire. Despite the pair’s volatile history, the 32-year-old reality star draped his arm around Harley’s shoulder in the image.

The proud mother of two shared an adorable photograph on Saturday of little Ariana flashing the camera a big smile while wearing a tie-dye dress that showed off her love for San Juan, which was likely picked up as a souvenir.

While lounging on the beach with their daughter, Ortiz-Magro was also on hand to watch over their little one as she had a bottle of milk.

“Living that beach life,” Harley wrote alongside a photograph of the doting dad.

Ahead of their trip together, Harley shared a slideshow of photographs earlier this month from the week she spent in New Jersey with the Jersey Shore star and their daughter while filming season 2 of Jersey Shore Family Vacation. The images included two sweet selfies of her and Ortiz-Magro.

“#squadgoals #bestfriends #4thofjulyweekend #jerseyshore #arianasky,” she captioned the post, which has since been deleted.

The couple has been off and on since welcoming their daughter on April 3 — while also making headlines for their explosive altercations.

Most recently, Harley was arrested and charged with domestic battery on June 24 in Las Vegas after an incident in which it was alleged that she briefly dragged her ex with her car while their infant daughter was in the backseat.

She was released from the Clark County Detention Center the following day after posting the $ 3,000 bail; Last week, the Clark County District Attorney’s Office confirmed to PEOPLE that there was “insufficient evidence” to prosecute her.

Of course, the parenting hilarity doesn’t stop once children learn how to talk. While spending some time with the couple’s eldest daughter Jasmine Lia, 2, earlier this month, the Skyscraper actor revealed he had gotten a very interesting compliment from the child.

“Great to recharge the batteries this weekend, back home with all my girls and teaching this lil’ tornado how to swim,” the doting dad wrote alongside a photo of himself and his daughter in the pool.

“Took my shirt off and she said, Daddy I like it your brown boobies.. Thank you baby, but daddy has pecs, not boobies,” he wrote, adding the humorous hashtag, “#MrBrownBoobs.”

“I was raised and surrounded by strong, loving women all my life, but after participating in baby Tia’s delivery, it’s hard to express the new level of love, respect and admiration I have for @laurenhashianofficial and all mamas and women out there,” he wrote.

“Happy birthday #robkardashian!!” mom Kris Jenner, 62, wrote on Instagram, captioning a photo collage of the two throughout the years. “You are the most wonderful son a mom could ever ask for and I thank God for you every day! It brings me so much joy to see the incredible father you have become. I am so proud of you!! Love, Mommy x #HappyBirthdayRob #ProudMama”

Sister Kendall Jenner also hopped on the throwback train, sharing a sweet photo of the pair on her Instagram Stories with the label, “birthday boy bobby.”

A rep for Kim did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.

Kim previously had a foot injury in September 2015 when she was skipped out on a court appearance in relation to her public intoxication arrest. That year, she was charged with three misdemeanors — public intoxication, resisting arrest and battery on a cop — stemming from an incident at the Beverly Hills Hotel.

Kim stepped out with her latest injury days after sister Kyle requested to be removed from a personal injury lawsuit filed against the pair in 2016, when Kim’s dog Kingsley allegedly bit former assistant Paige Sanderson.

The suit states that “ cannot be held strictly liable for this incident caused by her sister’s dog Kingsley” as she was “not present for the subject incident, and is not the owner, keeper, or controller of the dog who allegedly bit ,” according to papers filed on March 2 and obtained by The Blast.

This isn’t the first time a personal injury lawsuit has been brought against Kim regarding the dog: According to the papers, a woman alleged she was bitten in March 2014, and another woman alleged she was bitten in September 2014, both at the Sherman Oaks property.

Candice Renea Diaz, 24, and her boyfriend, Brad Edward Fields, 28, were arrested near Lake Park, Georgia, Tuesday after Michigan police announced they were wanted in the death of Diaz’s 4-year-old daughter.

The child was found severely injured on New Year’s Day but died later in the hospital, according to the Sumpter Township Police Department. She had severe burns to her extremities and was pronounced dead shortly after arriving at the hospital.

On Jan. 3, the Washtenaw County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled the child’s death a homicide, and the medical examiner allegedly found evidence of multiple traumatic injuries and signs of Battered Child Syndrome — meaning the girl had multiple injuries to her body that were sustained at different times.

Emily Maynard Johnson has her hands full as a mom of four, but there was a time in her life when she was just getting adjusted to new parenthood — and admittedly, she would do things a little differently if she could.

Since welcoming Ricki at the age of 19, Maynard Johnson has given birth to three sons with husband Tyler Johnson: newborn Gatlin Avery, 6 weeks, Gibson Kyle, 15 months, and Jennings Tyler, 2. But the former reality star admits it’s her daughter who still makes her the most emotional.

“Ricki is the one that makes me laugh the most she’s probably the one that makes me cry the most,” says Maynard Johnson. “Because I had her when I was 19 and we’ve really grown up together.”

She adds, “So to see her becoming a grown-up … I cried like a baby at her lower-school graduation. People thought somebody had died. I was sobbing, ugly crying — it was horrible.”

FROM PEN: Emily Maynard Johnson Admits She Was Ashamed to Stop Breastfeeding Her Second Son Early

Although Ricki is the likeliest to elicit tears and giggles from her mama, it’s the star’s oldest son whom she feels she is very much like, personality wise.

“Jennings, my 2-year-old, he wants all of his race cars to be clean … I have to get him a water bottle,” Maynard Johnson explains. “He wants them clean, dried off, in a line, in the cabinet, no one can touch it.”

Jenni Rivera’s daughter Jacqie Campos announced she is in the process of divorcing husband Mike Campos, the father of her three children, after five years of marriage. The star of the Universo reality show The Riveras — which also stars her siblings, Chiquis, Johnny, Jenicka and Mikey — revealed the news on Instagram Dec. 13. Although her rep told PEOPLE CHICA she is not talking to press at this time, the singer shared the news in an open letter on social media.

“As you know, I have made i‎t a point to include you guys in the the best and worst moments of my life. So I don’t want to leave you behind on this,” the 28-year-old said to her fans. “Mike and I are in the process of our divorce. The people closest to me already know and their support has been such a great help. But, I didn’t want to leave you all out as you all have also been with me through all moments of my life.”

Jacqie, now focusing on raising her kids, requested that her followers respect her privacy during the difficult transition: “I ask that you all kindly refrain from posting any comments regarding the divorce. Whether they be sad, religious, or your personal opinions. As I’m sure many of you can understand, divorces are between two people.”

She added that she intends to make the process as painless as possible for herself, her ex and their children: “Even though we are public figures, I want to protect the little privacy we do have not only for Mike’s and my heart, but mainly for our kids. I am simply posting this because I care for you all and I know many of you have had questions and concerns about the status of our relationship. I wanted to be the one to confirm to you, all in the efforts to silence any doubts.”

Although Jacqie did not reveal the reasons of the split, she ended her message with an assurance that the divorce was amicable. “We will continue to be friends in order to provide as amazing parents to our children,” she concluded. “At this time, I have decided to disclose no further information. I simply ask for your love and prayers in this new season of both our lives.”

The reality star and Campos got married in a glamorous ceremony in November 2012 that aired on Mun2 (now NBC Universo) as a one-hour television special. Her mother — singer Jenni Rivera, who died in a plane crash a few weeks later — was with Jacqie on her wedding day.

On this past Mother’s Day, Jacqie posted a photo of her dressed in white with her famous mom by her side and the heartfelt caption: “Oh how I wish I could go back to this day. Just so that I can be with you. Happy Mother’s Day to the woman that never gave up on me. One of the strongest woman I know. And a special Mother’s Day to all the single mommas. I admire you all. Your doing the job that was meant for two. Don’t give up! God will bless you greatly!”

Chrissy Teigen is already teaching her daughter Luna Simone one of life’s most important lessons: when you make a mess, you have to clean it up.

On Friday, the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model — who recently announced she was pregnant with her second child — shared a series of videos on Snapchat of her daughter cleaning up some water that got spilled on the floor.

“It’s just water,” Teigen, 31, told her 19-month-old daughter. “Can you help me?”

Bending down with a purple towel in hand, Luna followed her mother’s instructions and soaked up the excess moisture. “Thank you,” Teigen said.

Later, Teigen shared a video of her helpful daughter eating dropped food in front of the TV which she captioned: “the greatest age.”

In an adorable Instagram video, Teigen can be heard asking her daughter “Luna, what’s in here?” as her daughter pointed at her mom’s stomach and proclaimed there was a “baby” inside.

“It’s John’s,” Teigen cheekily captioned the video, to which Legend, 38, replied that “Maury will have the final word on this.”

Just a couple days before the big news, Legend told PEOPLE he and Teigen had been “working on” baby No. 2. Opening up to InStyle about her journey to motherhood via in vitro fertilization, Teigen explained she and her Grammy-winning husband started with 20 embryos and narrowed the number down to three after screenings.

Cliff Devries was once a nationally-ranked driver who dreamed of going to the Olympics. But in his early 20s, Devries faced cancer and a life-saving surgery that left the right side of his body paralyzed —bringing his athletic aspirations to a halt.

Now a diving coach at Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, New York, Devries celebrates his birthday each year by diving into a pool, according to Deseret News. This year, for his 44th birthday, Devries took to the school’s Judson Pool — and the inspirational moment was caught on video.

“I’ve never really seen it as an inspirational thing. It’s just a lot of fun for me to get up on the board and be back in the water,” Devries told the publication. “The fact that it has blown up to be a large thing where a lot of people can say this is something that is good and helped them, that’s just an extra bonus for me.”

Video footage of the dive shows Devries walking to the edge of the diving board, as his 5-year-old daughter, Grace, watches from the side of the pool. After a small tumble backward, Devries completes the dive and little Grace is shown on the sidelines jumping up and down and clapping for her father.

“I wanted one more inch, so as I dove my feet wouldn’t scrape the board,” Devries told the Democrat & Chronicle. “That’s when my leg locked up and I fell back onto Corey. I was pretty scared there for a moment. A whole bunch of scenarios were going through my head.”

Still, he completed the dive with no issues. And Facebook video footage of the display has been viewed more than 50 million times.

“It’s been an amazing few days,” he told the Chronicle. “I’m just happy that everybody is seeing something that they can take from it and that it has been a positive video for everybody.”

In 1995, shortly after returning from a mission trip, Devries had surgery to remove a massive tumor near his brain stem. He has been partially paralyzed ever since.

“The people around me see me as normal,” Devries told the Chronicle. “I walk through the deck and nobody’s staring at me. Nobody thinks it’s special. It’s just Cliff going up on the board doing his annual dive.”

He added: “I’d love to do a back dive one of these years. But I’m just not that ambitious.”

A conversation with Livelihood founder Ashley Biden can’t help but turn to politics. Her former vice president father Joe provided the design inspiration for her contribution to the “Snoopy & Belle” exhibition that bows at Brookfield Place tonight.
After what she described as a sellout run with Gilt, Biden plans to roll out a holiday collection with retailers and online through her getinvolvedinyourhood.com. A relaunch for her site is planned for next month. Striving for economic equality, Biden said, “We focus a lot in this country on discussions of race which is very important to understand but I think we need to be united around socioeconomics and the inequities.”
As for whether Joe Biden will run for president in 2020, his daughter, who still works full-time in Philadelphia, said, “I hope so. He’s busier truly than ever. Right now his focus is on the [Biden] Foundation and Cancer Moonshot, as well as getting other Democrats elected. He’s not there. He’s taking it day by day after the loss of my dear beloved brother [Beau who died in 2015]…He’ll make a decision when that time comes,” she said. “It’s a little ways away. A lot can happen in four years and we know

Though the restraining order appeared to bar Rob from posting photos of Dream, Chyna’s attorney, Lisa Bloom said in a statement to PEOPLE that the picture shared on Friday wasn’t in violation.

“Posting pictures of Dream is not a violation of the restraining order,” she said. “Mr. Kardashian was ordered to stay away from Ms. White, not to contact her, not to share intimate photos or medical information about her, and not to cyberbully her. We are looking forward to the next hearing to secure permanent orders against Mr. Kardashian to ensure his long term compliance.”

“I’m not going to take something that happened to me in the past into my future,” the 29-year-old — who is also a mom to King Cairo, her 4-year-old son with rapper Tyga — said. “First and foremost, I’m going to make myself happy because once I’m happy, then Dream can be happy and then King can be happy and then everybody else around me can be happy.”

Chyna says women have approached her both in person and online since her July 10 court appearance to let her know that she has inspired them to take control.

“I just want to voice my story — voice what’s real — because at the end of the day, the person next to me could possibly be going through the same thing. For people to actually look up to me really means a lot. These types of things, they happen every day. A lot of women, they don’t address it. See it, recognize it — but don’t be tainted by it. Just be strong and positive.”

On Saturday, the 80-year-old politician went on a hike with his daughter Meghan McCain and their dog. “Amazing hike with Dad @SenJohnMcCain this morning,” Meghan, 32, wrote on Twitter. “Thank you all for your best wishes!”

Her message came attached to a photo of the two sitting on a bench overlooking the stunning terrain in Arizona, where John is recovering from a minimally invasive craniotomy he received at Phoenix’s Mayo Clinic on July 14 to remove a 5-cm blood clot associated with the cancer from above his left eye.

It was during that surgery when doctors first discovered the cancerous brain tumor associated with a blood clot.

The cancer, known as glioblastoma, is one of the most aggressive and highly invasive forms of cancer — and makes up about half of all malignant (cancerous) brain tumors, affecting around five people out of 100,000 per year. United States Senator Edward “Ted” Kennedy, Delaware attorney general (and son of former Vice President Joe Biden) Beau Biden also had glioblastoma.

The median survival rate is about 14 to 14.5 months (up from eight to 12 months in recent years), and with current treatment about 5% of patients make it to a survival rate of five years or more, TIME reported. Treatments include surgical resection (i.e. having as much of the brain tumor removed as possible via a roughly half-day surgical procedure), chemotherapy, and radiotherapy.

The former Republican presidential nominee said in a statement that the senator and his family are reviewing further treatment options with his Mayo Clinic care team and that his “treatment options may include a combination of chemotherapy and radiation.”

John, who has served Arizona in Congress since 1982, is a three-time survivor of melanoma, an aggressive skin cancer that can spread to the brain and cause bleeding. He was diagnosed with invasive melanoma in 2000, and has been regularly screened by his doctors.

Meghan remains glued to her father’s side since his health crisis, explaining on Twitter Wednesday that she, her mother Cindy, and her siblings (Douglas, 57, Andrew, 55, Sidney, 50, John Sidney, 31, James, 29, and Bridget, 25) have “endured the shock of the news,” and are now living “with the anxiety about what comes next.”

“It won’t surprise you to learn that in all this, the one of us who is most confident and calm is my father,” she wrote. “He is the toughest person I know. The cruelest enemy could not break him. The aggressions of political life could not bend him. So he is meeting this challenge as he has every other.”

“Cancer may afflict him in many ways: But it will not make him surrender. Nothing ever has,” she added.

She ended her emotional explaining that her love for her father will never go away.

“My love for my father is boundless, and like any daughter I cannot and do not wish to be in a world without him,” she wrote. “I have faith that those days remain far away. Yet even in this moment, my fears for him are overwhelmed by one thing above all: Gratitude for our years together, and the years still to come. He is a warrior at dusk, one of the greatest Americans of our age, and the worth heir to his father’s and grandfather’s name. But to me he is something more.”

The 55-year-old country crooner sat down with PEOPLE Now to chat about his hit CMT show Still The King, which airs Tuesdays at 10/9 c, when he couldn’t help but share thoughtful gesture dreamt up by Hemsworth that earned him the stamp of approval for life.

“I love Liam so much,” Cyrus said of the Hunger Games star. “I was doing a show down in Nashville and Miley had been all over the world and she had been going nonstop. and Liam surprised me at my show.”

“She said, ‘Liam said, ‘Man, let’s go down and surprise your dad — let’s go!’” He says. “I told him — from now, forward and forever — he never has to get me a birthday or Christmas present; he’s paid in full!”

Time heals all wounds — but it can’t hurt to hurry things along with a little bit of wine and a lot of toddler time.

Chelsea Clinton opened up about her mother’s post-election coping mechanisms during an appearance on The View on Wednesday, revealing that as Hillary Clinton recovered from unexpectedly losing the presidency to Donald Trump in November, she found comfort in spending time with her granddaughter, Charlotte, and indulging in a glass of Chardonnay here and there.

“A little Chardonnay maybe and a lot of Charlotte, thankfully,” the former first daughter said.

“We spent lots of time with my children,” added Clinton, who is mom to daughter Charlotte, 2, and son Aidan, 11 months.

“The unexpected blessing has been all the time that we’ve been able to spend together as a family,” she continued.

That family time included planting a garden a couple weekends ago at Hillary and Bill Clinton’s home in Chappaqua, New York.

“It was really nice, seeing my mother and my father dig in the dirt with my daughter,” Clinton said. “Such an unforeseen gift that my daughter was giving me to see my parents in that way.”

“For those of you who don’t know me yet, my father is Mike Huckabee and my mother is a big southern hamburger,” Bryant-as-Sanders told the press pool in a deep southern drawl during the skit.

While the the skit was fairly complimentary toward Sanders, dubbing her “articulate and charming” and an improvement over Sean Spicer, it seems her father, former Arkansas governor and Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee, was not amused.

“I thought it was a little bit silly, sexist, [and] misogynist, but my daughter is certainly capable of handling a whole lot worse than that,” Huckabee said on the Fox Business Network’s “Varney & Co” on Tuesday.

Other commentators claimed the skit fat-shamed the deputy press secretary.

“You guys were mean about Huckabee Sanders,” CNN’s Chris Cuomo said on Monday. “You were fat-shaming her. You were talking about how she looks and what she wears. I thought that it was mean, not funny.”

He added, “They had her eating. I thought it was in poor taste.”

Cuomo is referring to the show’s decision to have Bryant eating an apple when she reappears at the podium after being kicked off the stage by Melissa McCarthy’s Sean Spicer.

The apple was no doubt a strange choice, but it’s hard to argue with the fact that casting Bryant as Huckabee Sanders is pretty spot-on. And if there’s any fat-shaming going on, it was coming from Cuomo, who probably owes Bryant an apology.

As for joking about how Sanders looks and what she wears, that’s likely a reference to the Weekend Update segment on Saturday’s episode, in which host Colin Jost took a swing at her.

“Spicer’s thirsty understudy Sarah Huckabee Sanders said James Comey had committed basic atrocities while he was head of the FBI, like reopening the Hillary Clinton investigation,” said Jost. “But that’s not a basic atrocity. A basic atrocities is when you post a brunch photo that says, ‘Pizza is life.’ Or when your profile pic is you on an inflatable swan. Basic Atrocities, by the way, is also where Sarah Huckabee Sanders gets her wardrobe.”

As the “World of Dance” host and mentor explains it, the family was vacationing in Mexico when they turned on the TV and “Step Up” came on.

“It was so funny, we were like, ‘Everly, Everly, look! It’s mommy and daddy!’ At first she didn’t think it was us,” Dewan said. “She’s like, ‘That’s not you guys.’ And I’m like, ‘No, it’s us, Evie, it’s me!’ And then she goes, ‘Can we watch something good?’ Just like that, and we were humbled. One day she’ll maybe appreciate it on a different level, but yeah, she’s not so into it.”

To be honest, both Channing and Jenna are a little iffy about watching their on-screen performances in the 2006 film, which launched their careers and their relationship.

“We both cringe because … we’re just so baby new ― our acting, we’re like, ‘What are we doing there?!’ Dewan joked. “It’s so sweet. We were talking about it the other day, like, ‘Do we remember that routine at the end?’ I think when it was the 10-year anniversary we did the lift outside in our yard just to prove that we could still do it!” (They can still do it — watch the video above.)

As for that other dance movie her dad’s in, Everly will “have a lot of questions” when she finally gets to see it, Dewan says.

“We got to show [’Magic Mike’] to her before one of her friends at school is like, ‘I saw this movie your dad’s in…’ She’s been at rehearsals so there’s a part of her that probably gets it.”

“Dannielynn b4 she raided the dessert room at the Barnstable-Brown Party where I met her Mom in 2003 #lifefullcircle #BarnstableBrownParty,” Birkhead, 44, tweeted on Saturday as he posed alongside his daughter.

Birkhead, who works as a photographer and dabbles in real estate for a living, has raised his daughter — who looks just like her mother — as a single dad. Dannielynn was only 5 months old when Smith, a former Playmate of the Year, died at age 39 following a drug overdose in Florida in 2007.

“Ever since my mother’s death, a friend of hers said she would send me pretty butterflies,” Dannielynn had written. “So, butterflies chase me everywhere and I let the butterfly come out of my pencil and fly on my paper with its wings of love.”

No matter who snags the crown Saturday, Dannielynn Birkhead and father LarryBirkhead have won for the sweetest dad-and-daughter appearance.

The 10-year-old daughter of the late model Anna Nicole Smith continued her annual tradition of hitting the Kentucky Derby red carpet with her father this weekend. Both were decked out in cream and pink outfits Saturday, with Dannielynn topping her outfit off with a headpiece perfectly suited for the festivities.

The pair also made an appearance the night before, all dolled up in formal attire for the 29th Barnstable Brown Kentucky Derby Eve gala.

In an interview with the “Today” show last year, Larry explained that he’s not interested in pushing his daughter into the spotlight.

“People call me all the time and say can she be in a movie, can she model?” Birkhead said at the time. “I didn’t care about it, so I’d say no, she’s not interested. She’s just a regular kid.”

Dannielynn has been making the Kentucky Derby rounds with her dad since 2010, when she was 3 years old. Clearly, her love of pink hasn’t changed a bit. And neither has her close bond with her dad.

“River’s first Nutella experience. It should have been via crepe but toast was easier #nutellagoodness #australiagoodness,” Clarkson, whose younger son Remington “Remy” Alexander turns 1 in April, wrote.

This isn’t the first time the “Piece by Piece” singer has shared an adorable moment with her daughter on social media. In October, she shared a sweet video of River dancing to Salt-N-Pepa’s “Push It.”

“This is totally inappropriate for a 2-year-old!” Clarkson yells jokingly as she and River dance around to the hit ’80s song, doing their part to raise awareness about the fact that an American is diagnosed with diabetes every 23 seconds.

With so many children from famous families becoming models these days, it’s hard to keep up with them all (trust us!) but there was no missing Iris Law’s latest gig. Yes, that would be Jude Law’s teenage daughter, who just snagged her second Burberry Beauty campaign (and the photos are gorgeous!). And to keep you firmly in the fashion and beauty loop, we rounded up even more killer celeb ad campaigns to get you excited (and strt your shopping).

Burberry Beauty

The 16-year-old daughter of Jude Law and Sadie Frost landed her first Burberry campaign in January, modeling the Liquid Lip Velvet line. This time, she’s fronting The Essentials collection, which includes the brand’s core makeup items – prime, contour and highlight – all available now. In the ad she models the glowing makeup like a longtime pro, despite being a relative newbie, which means it’s only a matter of time before she starts hitting the runway for the brand too.

Chanel

Next up, another high-end beauty brand (Chanel) with a new product featuring another famous face (Kristen Stewart). The brand released new images of Stewart’s new campaign for its Ombré Première mono eyeshadow collection, which is meant to encourage women to expresses themselves by mixing and matching the range of colors to intensify the hues.

High-fashion jewelry brand Piaget is shaking things up with its new Possession jewelry collection that features six vibrantly-colored stones (a first for the brand) that are all available on net-a-porter.com (also a first!). And Piaget chose the perfect boundary-pushing model for their ads, Olivia Palermo. The campaign, shot by her hubby Johannes Huebl, features Palermo wearing the new stones, but the accompanying video really shows the gems up-close and personal.

Tommy John

Kevin Hart not only loves his Tommy John underwear so much he’d star in the brand’s ad campaign, he loves them so much he also co-produced the 22-part mini series ad campaign! That’s right, he helped create 22 shorts (pun medium intended) all highlighting an aspect of the underwear Hart loves. And not that we have to tell you (it’s Kevin Hart!) but they’re hilarious. Watch one of the first videos to be released, below, and watch out for the rest to roll out on Tommy John’s YouTube channel and Hart’s Instagram throughout the year.

A mother and daughter have charmed the internet by taking it back to the ‘90s for a viral duet.

On Wednesday, Juanita Bompart, a children’s book author and singer-songwriter known as Jita online, tweeted a video of herself singing with her 15-year-old daughter, Elizabeth Kathryn Bompart. Their song choice was a bit of a throwback; they sang “Impossible” from the 1997 TV movie “Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella.” The sweet mother-daughter moment has been retweeted more than 8,000 times as of Friday afternoon.

Juanita told The Huffington Post that she and her daughter recorded the video in January and that music is a “huge part” of their lives. They have both written and recorded songs that are available on iTunes and Amazon.

“Growing up in a house around singing parents, Elizabeth sang as well from the time she could make sounds,” Juanita said.

The proud mom said that the song “Impossible” has special meaning for her and her daughter because it “confirms that nothing is impossible.”

“It was the special remake with the first African-American Cinderella and Fairy Godmother, which were undoubtedly well played by Brandy and Whitney Houston,” Juanita said. “Again, proving that anything is possible!”

Juanita said the reaction to the video has been “indescribable.” Aside from getting thousands of retweets, their duet racked up more than 94,000 views in a day on the Facebook page Because of Them We Can.

The mom and daughter hope to share more clips of their performances in the future and maybe even travel to spread their music.

“Given the opportunity, we would sing and share beautiful music forever!” Juanita said.

Shelby Donovan, an 18-year-old from New Orleans, Louisiana, was shocked when she opened a present from her mother in front of her entire family on Christmas.

“I kind of just stared at it for a really long time, trying to come up with anything else it could be besides a sex toy,” Donovan told The Huffington Post. “Because who wants to say that in front of their family? NO ONE.”

The gift she is referring to is this:

Naturally, her entire family began giggling as soon as she revealed the gift.

“My mom realized why we were laughing, so she says, ‘What? Do you actually think I would get you a dildo for Christmas?’” Donovan said.

It turns out the teen made the “horrible mistake” of opening and holding the gift upside down.

And it’s actually a cup holder.

“My grandma’s [reaction] was definitely the best,” Donovan said. “She described it as, ‘Business in the morning, fun at night.’”

Donovan explained to HuffPost that she asked her mom for coffee and tea for Christmas this year because she has “a horrible addiction to Starbucks.” Donovan figured if she made her own brews and carried it around in a tin tumbler, she could break her habit. Her mom figured she could make the whole transition a tiny bit smoother by getting a durable cup holder for her daughter, as well.

The 84-year-old actress shared an emotional post on Facebook Tuesday, just a few hours after Fisher’s death.

“Thank you to everyone who has embraced the gifts and talents of my beloved and amazing daughter,” she wrote. “I am grateful for your thoughts and prayers that are now guiding her to her next stop. Love Carries Mother.”

After just an hour, the post had over 70,000 likes and more than 10,000 comments from fans sending their love to Reynolds after the loss of her child.

“To most of us, she was a princess who fought back, who didn’t take no for an answer….but she was so much more than a singular role,” one commenter wrote. Another added, “No parent should see their child leave first. Thank you for being a great mother to such a talented woman. This world needed her. All my love and prayers.”

Fisher died on Tuesday, days after she suffered a heart attack while on a flight from London to Los Angeles. Her daughter, 24-year-old actress Billie Lourd, released a statement through a spokesperson announcing her mother’s death.

“It is with a very deep sadness that Billie Lourd confirms that her beloved mother Carrie Fisher passed away at 8:55 this morning,” the statement said. “She was loved by the world and she will be missed profoundly. Our entire family thanks you for your thoughts and prayers.”

Rob Kardashian just celebrated his daughter Dream‘s first Thanksgiving, and he’s already excited for his Santa baby’s first Christmas.

The new dad shared an adorable video of his two-week-old on Instagram Friday, modeling his festive Arthur George baby socks. “@dream loves her new @arthurgeorge87 SANTA BABY kids socks!!” Kardashian, 29, captioned the clip. “Can’t wait for her first Christmas.”

Laying in a red container decorated with Saint Nick’s belt, Dream was dressed in an all white ensemble accessorized with a color coordinated pompom headband.

The same video was shared on the newborn’s Instagram account with the caption, “I love my new @ArthurGeorge87 socks from daddy!!!”

Kardashian and fiancée Blac Chynawelcomed their first child together on Nov. 10 at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. The new addition joins big brother King Cairo, Chyna’s 4-year-old son with ex Tyga.

“Rob is getting used to taking care of his daughter. He was a little nervous at first because she is so tiny,” a source previously told PEOPLE . “He seems very eager to learn how to care for her. He is changing diapers and very hands on.”

The actress and artist turns 15 this Halloween, and to show her how much he cares, Papa Will penned perhaps his most meaningful words since he and Jazzy Jeff made the “Fresh Prince” theme song. Smith took to Facebook to thank Willow for “correcting” his heart and teaching him to love “without constriction or condition”:

Happy Birthday, my Bean. 15 years old today!! When you were born it took about 2 seconds to realize that I was willing…

The Smith family has been in the business of making adorable messages lately. Will also sent his wife, Jada Pinkett-Smith, a message that melted everyone’s heart, and Jada reciprocated with a sweet post for Will.

The Fresh Prince’s message to Willow is too much, though. Ah, so many feels! Can Will please just use his ”Men in Black” mind eraser to take away all these feels?

Crawford had initially expressed concern about letting her only daughter into the fashion industry while she was still in her early teens, saying she was “too young to know what she wants to do.” With IMG’s Instagram announcement, it’s clear that things have changed for the 13-year-old and her mom who, not for nothing, was discovered at the tender age of sixteen.

Kate Moss‘ younger sister Lottie might have entered the modeling world, but the supermodel has another mini-me who’s not keen on the catwalk: her daughter with magazine editor Jefferson Hack, 12-year-old Lila Grace.

The tween opened herself up to Internet questions via her since disabled ask.fm page, resulting in an admission that just like everyone else and their mom, sometimes Moss embarrasses her. Thanks to an ask about what she envisions for her future, the world knows that while Lila might like to become a designer, she has no aspirations of super-dom (“mayb a fashion designer idrk but defo not a model” (sic)). For a favorite designer, she named Stella McCartney.

Kate’s daughter certainly has time to change her mind, but hearing that it’s a profession that holds little interest is seriously surprising. With the children of ’90s superstars coming of age right about now, we’ve seen an entire wave of genetically blessed offspring rise up and say they want to model (like gorgeous daughters belonging to Cindy Crawford and Sylvester Stallone, respectively).

On Saturday, the 40-year-old actress and her daughter traveled to Turkey in honor of World Refugee Day, where they spent time touring a Syrian and Iraqi refugee camp in the southeastern province of Mardin.

In addition to their tour, the actress also met with UN officials, as well as Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, whom she thanked for his generosity towards the Syrian and Iraqis refugees. Jolie also voiced her concerns in an impassioned speech:

“We are here for a simple reason: This region is at the epicenter of a global crisis. Nearly 60 million people are displaced from their homes. That is one in every 122 people on our planet. Our world has never been richer or healthier or more advanced. Yet never before have so many people been dispossessed and stripped of their basic human rights,” she said. “We should call this what it is: not just a ‘refugee crisis,’ but a crisis of global security and governance, that is manifesting itself in the worst refugee crisis ever recorded – and a time of mass displacement.”

She added, “I plead to the international community and leaders of the world to recognize what this moment in mass human displacement means. This is not just another day. This World Refuge Day marks some frightening truths about our inability to manage international crisis – about our inability to broker peace and find lasting solutions.”

MCDONOUGH, Ga. (AP) — The daughter of the reality TV show mother on “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo” is suing, saying she hasn’t been fully paid for her appearances.

Anna Cardwell filed the lawsuit Monday, saying her mother, June Shannon, the TLC network and others failed to pay her and her daughter for appearances on the show.

The lawsuit says Shannon and Honey Boo Boo LLC were in control of money meant to be put into a trust for Cardwell and her daughter. Cardwell claims she is owed more than $ 201,800 and her daughter is owed more than $ 99,500.

TLC representatives declined to comment. A phone listing for Shannon couldn’t be found.

The network canceled its colorful series about the child beauty pageant contestant Alana (Honey Boo Boo) Thompson and her Georgia family.

I am the oldest daughter of a United States Marine. Born in the Pink Doctor Building during the final years of a Cold War conflict we did not win, I learned to walk on Honolulu’s sandy beaches, waving to the improbable sky hippopotamus that hovered over the sea behind my base house, its tandem rotors thumping rhythms I felt in my bones, its lights flashing red and green, port and starboard, my father’s way of signaling his love to my mother and me as we collected blue glass balls that washed up on our beach. The glass balls, my father said, once floated fishing nets in far-away Japan.

My father, USMC Captain Theodore Thomas Long, Jr., piloted CH-46 Sea Knights during the final gasps of the Vietnam War. He earned his nickname, “Machine Gun,” when he asked his CO to transfer him from an assault squadron to a unit that flew medical rescue missions. Anybody who knew my father knows he could not have flown a gunship. He was not that kind of guy — he was the kind of guy who wept every time he read the ending of A Tale of Two Cities, who sang “When You Walk through a Storm” so clear and sweet it gave you goose bumps.

My father joined the ROTC in college, where he majored in Political Science. Dad started his thesis with the intention of defending the Vietnam War and the United States’ role in it. Upon researching the subject, he concluded that the war was indefensible. Then he graduated and went to fly helicopters in Vietnam anyway, because that’s what you do when you love your country: you support it, right or wrong. And my Dad, the fatherless liberal Democrat Mormon boy from Utah, loved America.

Here is what it means to be the daughter of a United States Marine who served in Vietnam. Your first word is “jet” (“No, helicopter! Helicopter!” my Dad would say). You belt out, “From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli” while the other kids are singing “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.” You are never, ever allowed to say the word “Army.” When you forget to do your chores, your Dad yells, “Drop and give me 20,” and you do. On Sundays, the only movies you can watch are the following: Patton, The Great Escape, Victory at Sea, and Chariots of Fire. But mostly Patton. You and your siblings can reenact the entire film.

In sixth grade, on your dad’s advice, you read The Iliad, holding your breath: “Sing, goddess, the wrath of Achilles.” In high school, you have your first crush on Lawrence of Arabia and begin to contemplate the oxymoronic problem of heroism in the Modern Age. You learn what the word ambiguous means. You learn that things are not black and white. You learn to love America anyway.

In 1991, when you are home on break from college, driving with your dad, who has just been diagnosed with acute myelogenous leukemia (a war he will not win), you find your way blocked by barricades, a parade with tanks and ticker tape to honor heroes of the Gulf War. Your Dad starts to cry. “They spit on me,” he says. “When I came home, they spit on me.”

Here is what it means to be the daughter of a United States Marine who served in Vietnam. When your father dies at age 50, they bury him near Hill Air Force Base, in the shadow of mountains, beneath the flight path. A bugler plays “Taps.” The guns salute. They hand your mom a folded flag. You don’t know whether the cancer that killed him was part of a cluster that afflicted Vietnam pilots, or whether it was because he was born in Reno, Nevada in 1944, or whether it was just one of those things.

You love America anyway. Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori.

Cindy Crawford and her daughter, Kaia Gerber, spent some quality time together ahead of Mother’s Day at the “Tomorrowland” premiere in Anaheim, California, on Saturday. The veteran model and her 13-year-old daughter made for quite the stunning duo as they posed for photos together on the carpet. Crawford was also joined by her son Presley, 15, and her longtime husband, nightlife entrepreneur Rande Gerber.

It looks like Crawford’s daughter will follow in her mom’s modeling footsteps. The teen landed one of her first major photo shoots in Teen Vogue’s December 2014/January 2015 issue.

Yep, that’s one gorgeous family.

Mother’s Day. A time of celebrating the amazing woman who gave you life, nurtured and inspired you. Your biggest supporter and fiercest defender.

Like myself and many of my clients, I have spent much of my life grieving for that mother. Not because she died, but because she never existed.

How do you celebrate your mother when she is no longer in your life, either by death or choice?

As a coach and former therapist, I have worked with countless women whose relationships with their mothers have been anything but the ideal depicted on greeting cards.

In these cases, Mother’s Day can be a day of disappointment, loss, and reminders of what you don’t have.

Family dysfunction can take on many forms. In my work, some common themes are a mother who didn’t pay attention to signs of abuse; dismissed her child’s (subtle or direct) cry for help; created an environment of neglect; and sometimes struggled with her own mental health issues.

There are times it is necessary to step back or end a relationship with your mother for the benefit of your own emotional health, well-being, and happiness. While it is generally a very difficult decision, fraught with fear and guilt, sometimes it is necessary.

Finding a way to set boundaries and grieving the loss of a relationship you never really had is an important part of healing from childhood abuse and dysfunction.

In my case, I grieve the mother I never had, due to chronic depression leading to neglect and the one who died when I was 23. I will never have the opportunity to have that relationship.

While you may never have that relationship with your mother, it is possible to experience nurturing relationships with people who inspire you and become your biggest supporter and fiercest defender. You just have to allow yourself the time to grieve and be open to allowing those people in your life.

Is Mother’s Day a struggle for you? Do you have difficulty finding a card that accurately represents your relationship? If so, make time this Sunday for you. Take some time to provide for yourself the nurturing, loving experience you deserve.

When 7-year-old Natalie McGriff struggled to embrace her natural black beauty, her mom was the first one to encourage her to love her hair and her beautiful brown skin and to apply the confidence that comes with self-acceptance.

But it wasn’t easy.

Natalie didn’t see herself reflected on TV and among the toys she owned — and because of this lack of representation began to describe herself as “ugly,” said her mother, Angie Nixon.

Nixon was determined to teach her daughter valuable lessons on self-image and self-love.

“I started a Facebook group called ‘Natalie You Are Beautiful’ where strangers and friends could post positive affirmations for her,” Nixon told The Huffington Post. “She enjoyed reading them but it still wasn’t helping her.”

Invested in her mission, Nixon took a more creative approach. She hit on the idea of a comic book that would portray the 7-year-old as a superhero with crime-fighting afro puffs. The hero’s curly hair, a trait that Natalie found hard to accept, became her crowning glory that came with special magical powers.

Natalie was immediately on board. She gave her mom story ideas for the comic and the two made the book together.

Shortly after, the pair launched The Adventures Of Moxie Girl, a comic starring a fictional Natalie who activates the superpowers in her magical puffs to fend off book-eating monsters that attack her local library.

“I was hoping to improve and raise the self-esteem of my daughter. I also wanted to instill in her a love for reading,” Nixon said. “I wanted her to realize how powerful she is and that she shouldn’t have to change for anything.”

Nixon submitted the comic book to a crowdfunding festival in their hometown of Jacksonville, Florida, where attendees cast ballots on who would take home the large cash prize.

It turned out Natalie wasn’t the only one who fell in love with Moxie Girl — voters championed the idea and daughter and mother took home $ 16,400 to put towards a larger print run for the comic. The book will come out in June, Nixon announced on Instagram.

Now Natalie has much stronger self-esteem — and so does Nixon. She advises other parents to always feed their children positive affirmations and model the self-respect they want their kids to have.

“How can I tell my daughter her hair is beautiful in its natural state, if I alter mine?” she said. “I have to embrace my natural beauty before I am truly able to tell her to embrace hers.”

“We have to work on ourselves as parents first. We have to model the behavior that we want to see in our children,” Nixon said.

I was nothing like my mother. She was shy and elegant. She covered her mouth when she laughed.

She didn’t understand how someone like her could have given birth to someone like me. She didn’t understand where my confidence came from, or how, at five years old, I could have an opinion about the kind of car I’d prefer to be driven in to nursery school. A coupe.

She said she was never scared for me because I was tough.

That I’d get what I wanted out of life because I wouldn’t settle for anything less. That no one would ever take advantage of me — and good luck to the person who tried.

My mother told me to understand that not everyone would like me, but I would be deeply loved by those who did. She told me to always be compassionate; that was my weakness. To be compassionate with people who were weaker, or meeker, or just scared of life. To have compassion for people who weren’t as brave.

She told me to be gentler with my older sister, because she wasn’t built like me; she was more sensitive. That, even though I was the youngest, my sense of self was the strongest. When I’d complain that it was my sister’s fault for not standing her ground, she would reply, “Wouldn’t you get out of the way if you saw you coming?”

My mother knew who I was before I did.

She said I was my father’s daughter.

A few days before she died, my mom grabbed my hand and said, “Please take care of your brothers and sisters, because I know you’ll be able to one day. Keep our family together.” And then added, “your father’s a huge pain in the ass, by the way… You’ll see.”

She died when she was 66, with five of her children holding her hand. Only one of us was missing that day in the room we all sat in, though I knew deep in my heart that he too was there to take her hand the moment it slid out of ours.

He was her oldest, her firstborn. She had had to live through that loss and continue loving us.

I don’t know enough to understand what that must be like for a parent. Or what it means to be a parent, for that matter. But, I do know what it’s like to be loved, because my mother showed me what that meant, even when she should have been out of love herself.

She said that being a mother was like getting your heart broken a million times a day…

Mom,

I’m 40 now, an age I never thought I’d be.

I hope you’re smiling at me with that flirty little “I’ve eaten something I shouldn’t have eaten” smile. My version of that little smile usually implies something much more naughty than a Snicker’s bar, but you already know that.

There have been days that I’ve picked up the phone to call you, and then remembered. But it doesn’t matter, because I know you’re here. I still feel you.

I did everything you asked me to do. I haven’t exactly nailed the “compassion” part, but I think about it every day, and then, I try again.

You were right. About everything. You knew me before I knew me.

You were right about Dad.

I’m smiling back at you. For the love, the adoration and the belief.

I believe in you, too.

My heart is full.

I know now that I am my mother’s daughter.

To every mother on Mother’s Day.

Thank you for teaching us how to love.

“[Modeling] was something I was really trying to stay away from originally, just because I consider myself a really shy person. I didn’t think I’d be good at it. But after realizing what kind of pay I would get, I decided to swallow that fear and try it out,” she said. “I know that my last name plays a huge part in getting certain jobs. I’m not oblivious to that fact. But I don’t think I would be hired for things if I was really wrong for the part.”

But you know what a famous last name does not get you? Access to any House of Cards secrets. While visiting Mom as she worked on an episode for next season, Dylan was made to leave so as not to find out any secrets. Don’t you just love this little anecdote?

What current celebrity kids do you think have a career modeling or acting ahead of them? I’m putting all my money on Harper Beckham.

Serving a sentence in a prison in Mexico, Libertad González finds a clever way to pass the time with the weekly Library Club, reading to her fellow inmates from whatever books she can find in the prison’s meager supply. The story that emerges, though, has nothing to do with the words printed on the pages. She tells of a former literature professor and fugitive of the Mexican government who reinvents himself as a trucker in the United States. There he falls in love with a wild woman with whom he shares his truck and his life-that is until Joaquín González unexpectedly finds himself alone on the road with a baby girl and González & Daughter Trucking Co. is born. Joaquín and his daughter make the cab of an 18-wheeler their home, sharing everything-adventures, books, truck-stop chow, and memories of the girl’s mother-until one day the girl grows into a woman, and a chance encounter with one man causes her to rebel against another. With her stories, Libertad enthralls a group of female prisoners every bit as eccentric as the tales she tells. In González and Daughter Trucking Co, bestselling author María Amparo Escandón seamlessly blends together these elements into one compelling and unexpected conclusion that will have you cheering for Libertad and filled with joy. From the Trade Paperback edition.

1. Uggs. Yes, they are cliche and some say not the prettiest, BUT they are definitely comfy and can be thrown on with jeans, leggings and even skirts. There is no doubt they keep you warm and are durable. I have been wearing Uggs for many years before they became a trend and each season, I love them more. My daughter has also become a fan and has several pairs, including an adorable pink sequin pair. But ladies, beware of the cute fad; sequined Uggs only look good when you’re under a certain age 🙂

2. A North Face fleece. Yes, yes, it’s also trendy and cliche, but again, it’s warm as can be, and so well made. It’s versatile because it is goes from the first sign of a chill to those really cold days that you don’t want a bulky coat on. They have come along way from the original black fleece you can now find them in tons of colors and levels of fluffiness.

3. Black leather boots. They go with everything and girls of all sizes look adorable with some leggings or a skirt and leather boots.

4. A denim jacket. They never go out of style, and you always have an outfit that needs to be topped off with a cute denim jacket. They work for girls of all ages and can go from casual to dressy with some simple accessory changes.

5. Great headbands. You can find them in a variety of stores and for a range of prices. I find that the older Gigi gets, the more of my headbands end up in her bathroom. I find that some of the ones we love at Nordstrom and Saks often end up at the outlets for more than half off the original prices. When we see them there we snap them up!

6. A well-made backpack. No matter your stage of life, a good backpack always comes in handy. Gigi, of course, uses hers for school and sports, but I use mine for travel and for all-day events that require me carrying around lots of things. Gigi is a big fan of Kipling, The North Face and LeSportsac, and so am I, but all the big name designers are in the backpack scene too, like Marc Jacobs and Michael Kors.

7. Oversized sweaters. What better to top off leggings and your Uggs then a great, cozy sweater? The chunky knits keep you warm and are easy to wear and they are always a fall staple.

8. An armful of bangles and bracelets. These are fun and a perfect accessory for your fall looks. Mix up an armful of fun bracelets. Gi and I like to mix up a ton of Alex and Ani with some other textures and styles of bracelets. You can create a variety of looks by mixing up how and what you put together.

9. Some great scarves. This look is timeless and functional. Not only does a great scarf dress up a drab outfit, but it keeps you warm on a chilly day. I found some great ones at the big name outlets like Nordstrom Rack and the Bloomingdale’s outlet for nearly half their original prices.

10. Faux fur vests and jackets and faux leather pieces. No matter if you’re young or a wee bit older, faux fur is cozy and always an adorable topper to an outfit that needs a punch. I’m a big fan of leopard, but faux fur comes in many prints, colors and styles. Faux leather pants are adorable on younger girls now and if you don’t feel young enough to pull off the leather pant, there are plenty of leggings out this season with a faux leather trim or knee patch etc that are great to wear! If you’re still not feeling it, then try a faux leather-trimmed shirt or a nice sweater with faux elbow patches. They are everywhere this season!

I know it’s easier to imagine a lot of this fashions on your tween than yourself, but all are appropriate for any age and will keep you in fall style !!Style – The Huffington Post

[Siren Menage Everlasting: Erotic Paranormal Consensual BDSM Menage a Trois Romance, M/F/M, werewolves, fisting, flogging, whipping, sex toys, HEA] Werewolf shape-shifters Brody Dietrich and Roman Meyer “borrow” a gigantic yellow tractor-scraper to stop the SUV following their Alpha. Leonie Baum’s father owns the vehicle, and she is not happy. But the board of directorssay a woman’s place is not in construction, so Leonie’s career has come to a grinding halt anyway–just like the construction vehicle. With the death of the Supreme Alpha of Europe, the werewolf packs are vying to take control. Roman and Brody just want to go home to Werewolf Castle in the mountains, but their Alpha loans them to the Alpha of Vienna. At least this means they have time to get to know Leonie a little better despite their dramatic first meeting. They invite her on a hot air balloon flight, which they all enjoy, but their erotic sessions stop dead when they arrive for their first day of work and learn who their supervisor will be. ** A Siren Erotic Romance
